RE: Anyone hunt exotics
Interesting reading from all of you regarding the tastes of your exotics.
I shot a Mouflon last weekend and had been warned about it's gamey taste! When we skinned and quartered it I noticed a very strong gamey/musky smell. Nothing like a whitetail!
So, I had my friend, who owns and operates a german pork store handle the butchering. My hog is being processed a most are: chops, hams, loins, sausage,etc.
The mouflon is being made into smoked "TV" snacks, kind of like a jerky, but round. He adds some pork and fat to the ram, stuffs the skin and smokes the hell out of them! I hope that the taste will be good enough to enjoy!!
You all are making me yearn for a week in Texas! One day!!!!!

BTW, anyone looking for an excuse to treat their wives to a nice get away weekend in Paso Robles, CA under the guise of a romantic, wine country excursion (with a little hog huntin' on the side), let me know. I have contact info for a fella who guides on his family ranch, 4,400 acres in barley and vineyards with a lot of pigs. Cost is very reasonable and the meat processor he works with puts out a great variety of sausages, etc. that are excellent.
